Theatrical Translation and Film Adaptation
A Practitioner's View
Phyllis Zatlin (Rutgers University)
Translation and film adaptation of theatre have received little study. In filling that gap, this book draws on the experiences of theatrical translators and on movie versions of plays from various countries. It also offers insights into such concerns as the translation of bilingual plays and the choice between subtitling and dubbing of film.

Translation, Linguistics, Culture
A French-English Handbook
Nigel Armstrong (University of Leeds)
"I very much welcome the publication of this volume. Postgraduates and teachers will also glean much from this systematic linguistics-based presentation."
Tim Pooley, (London Metropolitan University)
This book takes a linguistic approach to translation issues, looking first at the structural view of language that explains the difficulty of translation and at theories of cultural non-equivalence. A subsequent chapter on text types, readership and the translator's role completes the theoretical framework. The linguistic levels of analysis are then discussed in ascending order, from morpheme up to sentence, while a summarizing chapter considers various translation types and strategies, again considered in relation to text type, author and reader.

More Paragraphs on Translation
Peter Newmark
Peter Newmark is as much concerned with the minutiae of translation _ capitalisation, square brackets, dashes _ as with its perennial major issues: truth, beauty, morality, logic, language convergence, linguistic differences and culture. New occupations and technologies produce new translation topics and many examples in a variety of languages.

Translation Research and Interpreting Research
Traditions, Gaps and Synergies
Edited by Christina Schaffner (Aston University, Birmingham)
The collection is rich with suggestion for translation and interpreting researchers due to its focusing primarily on the sociological dimension of TS and also because it keeps suggesting a necessary collaboration between translation (in its generic sense) researchers and all the disciplines related to translation studies.
Vittoria Prencipe, Linguistlist 15.537
Translation and interpreting have much in common. This volume focuses on aspects of conducting research into these two modes. It reviews recent developments and explores kinship, differences and prospects for partnership between Translation Research and Interpreting Research.
